New Delhi, February 19, 2010 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Friday stayed till February 23 the Andhra Pradesh High Court order directing withdrawal of Central paramilitary forces from Osmania University campus, the hotbed of the Telangana agitation.
A bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and T.S. Thakur, however, directed the state Home Secretary to ensure that the paramilitary forces are not allowed to misbehave in any manner with the students at the campus.
The apex court said the paramilitary forces shall operate strictly under the personal supervision of the Home Secretary.
The apex court passed the order on an appeal filed by the Andhra Pradesh government, challenging the High Court’s direction to withdraw the paramilitary forces from the campus.
The State government has also alleged that they strongly suspect that Maoists have infiltrated the movement and perhaps are inside the campus among the students.
However, this allegation was rebutted by Counsel Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the students.
